THEODORE H. MILLER, 03:? WATERBURY, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR TO WATERBURY BUCKLE (30., OF WATEBBURY, CONNECTICUT, A CORPORATION.

GARMENT-FASTENER BUTTON.

Application filed December 7, 1921.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THEODORE H. KELLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Waterbury, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Garment-Fastener Buttons; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the characters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this application, and represent, in

Fig. 1 a plan view of a garment-fastener button constructed in accordance with my invention.

Fig. 2 a view thereof in side elevation.

Fig. 3 a sectional view thereof on the line 33 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 a corresponding view, but showing the button-base and button-head positioned preparatory to forcing the serrated prongs of the button-base into the solid rubber head.

Fig. 5 an enlarged perspective view of the button-base.

My invention relates to an improvement in garment-fastener buttons, such as are used in garter-clasps, stocking and hosesupporters and kindred articles, the object being to produce, at a low cost, an effective button of superior appearance.

With these ends in view, my invention consists in a garment-fastener button having certain details of construction as will be hereinafter described and pointed out in the claim.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 6, 1922.

Serial No. 520,523.

located on opposite sldes of the transverse axis of the base and having their straight edges serrated and their ends pointed, as at 16, whereby they are adapted to be thrust into a solid-rubber button-head 17, in which their serrated sides and pointed ends are so embedded as to firmly attach the head to the base. In other words, the prongs make their own way into the button-head, which is initially made solid, instead of being recessed or prepared for the reception of the prongs.

I claim:

In a garment-fastener button, the combination with a one-piece, metal base having threading openings and two upstanding parallel prongs having serrated sides and pointed ends, of an initially solid-rubber button head into which the prongs are thrust and in which they are embedded for attaching the head and base together.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

THEODORE H. MILLER.
